Abstract
This research aims to study the effect of knowledge on decision to accept the Vetiver system innovation in landslide hazard area by using a Quantitative research technique in a landslide hazard area. The research focused on 383 farmer households in Huai Kayeng, Thong Pha Phum, Kanchanaburi. The research shows the knowledge of Vetiver grass does affect a decision-making process of Deciding, Applying and Confirming the usage of Vetiver grass to prevent landslide in agricultural land.
